**Ask a Ninja Tech**

Yes in my country I have located a shop that would be capable of removing it. But the problem is the tank won't arrive on time for my tournament I've had packages from them getting to me from around a month or month an half.

I'll do my best hopefully I'll be successful. Thank you very much!!

Wish I could help you out more my friend. good luck at the event and have fun!!

So I just got a new black 50/45 and there are a large amount of dimples around the neck of the tank and many more on the body, kinda feels like a golf ball. I have a 68/45 grey tank and there are no dimples at all.
Is this normal?

Hi jlewis55. I think I know what you are talking about. I have a few 50's and a 68 or two in my shop currently that have "dimples" in them as well. They appear to be perfectly fine on my end. If you could post a few pictures that would help greatly! Let me know if I can help you at all past this and I would be happy to

Hey man, if it is the standard adjustable reg then what you would want to do is degas the system, remove the set screws and remove the bonnet. There should be 2 thicker red shims in the system, and maybe some thinner silver shims. The red shims are what you want to remove to drop your pressure. Remove one of the red shims to get your output to around 550-600 and you're all set. Let me know if you need any other help man

I have a small boob tank that I play speedball with, I'm extremely careful with my gear, but somehow there is a penny-sized circular crack in the enamel on the outside with the flake missing in the center.

I need to replace my 1.8 burst disk on my pro reg, and I have never had this much trouble with a burst disk in my life. I started with the 3/8 wrench, and it literally just flattened the edges of the burst disk without budging it. Since, I have tried for hours using toothed pliers and nails through the hole in the disk to remove it. The nail bent after practically bruising my fingers, and the pliers shaved the top of the disk down to a circle. Why can't I get this off? There shouldn't be any loctite on the disks should there? I need this disk replaced by cup and I haven't been able to use it for a couple weeks.

Try a small pipe wrench.

Is this something that I should be concerned about?

If there is a penny sized circular "chip" and its only the outer part of the gel coat missing and none of the fibers underneath are showing through the gel coat or your fingernails dont catch on them when you run them over the missing gel coat, its safe to still use.

you should use a socket or box-end wrench, not a normal wrench. Depending on how you seat an open-ended wrench and then apply force, it could round out the edges.

If you are going to Cup, stop by the booth so we can try and remove it for you. We'll have the booth setup by Wed. morning.

I assume the bonnet from the body? It should of come with a bonnet removal tool. If not, visit your local hardware store and purchasing a 10/32 machine screw. The screw will go into either of the bonnet set screws, screw it in all the way, then back off a full turn. Then remove the bonnet

Thanks Bronze! PERFECT ANSWER.

5ozofpain - every ninja system and just the regulator come with a bag of tools including a Bonnet Removal Tool. This is basically a 10/32 machine screw you can use as leverage in the application Bronze described above.
